These Are Some Of The Playable Characters In Marvel Heroes

Following the its reveal, Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment have updated the site for Marvel Heroes with a couple of tidbits of information, and a collection of screenshots and character render sheets, giving a better look at the playable characters in the massively-multiplayer game.

For starters, the game’s plot involves stopping Dr. Doom who’s gotten ahold of the Cosmic Cube. Brian Michael Bendis will be writing the game’s story. Let’s take a look at screenshots of some of the heroes you’ll get to unlock. Note that some of them show characters in their alternate outfits:

And here are renders for a few of the characters that have been revealed so far. A couple like the Hulk and Ms. Marvel aren’t included, but others like Emma Frost and Cable can be found below:

I’m actually ok with this. It didn’t go the way Champions Online or DCUO did, which is to create and customize your own superhero. I know some people would like that set in Marvel universe, but for once I want to be able to play the superheroes themselves in an MMO. And it looks like it’s borrowing elements from Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which is good.

Realistically, I don’t expect her to be in it because Marvel severely and horribly undervalues her and has done so for the past 40 or so years that she’s existed. But her inclusion would certainly get me to buy the game.
